Pros

Rlc-520a is a great camera that is easy to use, reliable and exactly as described. The reolink ecosystem is very feature rich and it does appear to have a lot of capabilities. I really do like the reolink app and it's very well laid out.

On the front of the camera is the lens, surrounded by infrared lights for night vision. I am a fan of the turret style and it's not as visible as bullet-style cameras. Video and audio quality is awesome and crystal clear.

The reolink ip cam is one of the most versatile cameras out there. It can record to microsd, micro sd card, or an ftp server. It also supports customized ntp server list.

Argus pro 3 is a good camera. The app responds immediately and there is no lag with playback or navigation. Once it detect the movement, it sends smart notification via application or emails.

It is pretty foolproof to connect and to manage. I have never had any connection issues. The camera can almost be fully managed directly from https with a few exceptions. Ethernet.



Cons

The included ethernet cable is only 6’ long. Too short to be any good for the actual installation. I got 2 new routers and many old ones; none of them has a poe port.

The 520 are good, but the 520a is better as when going through motion recordings, you can filter out other motions and specify ...  Read More


I bought the 520 first, then added the 520a.
